Amazon and OpticPlanet.com and probably others still have the CG5 for sale but the price is on the $650 to $700 range. It may be better to get the replacement VX ordered for just $100 more. Either should work well with a small reflector.

There are some niggling design issues that the VX addresses, but overall, the CG5 is a great little mount. If the CG5 HC has version 4 firmware or later it can be upgraded. The CG5-GT I got new in early 2011 had v4.16; 4 has been out for a while, but don't know how long.

If the VX fixes as many of those things as it looks like it does (better power switch, thread-on power connector, more sensible arrangement of motor covers and dec cable) and it performs as well as early reports indicate, expect a flood of CG5s to hit the used market. astronomics (neotesla's link above) shows CG5 in closeout at a price $250 less than the VX pre-order price.
